Wax Heads is one of the best games I have played this year. It’s full of cozy stories, amazing music, and wonderful characters. I think anyone who is craving meaningful human connection could learn something from Wax Heads.
Now I want to go and watch Empire Records.

Wax Heads represents a unifying beauty and purpose I've never seen in a game before. If it exists elsewhere, please guide me to it; for now, this game deserves its moment. I laughed (a lot), I cried (a bit), I smiled (endlessly). It feels like a game made for me, but not only me.

Beneath the surface of the record flipping sim lies a poignant story about the modern world. Repeater Records is under threat from corporate interests specifically a generic, soul sucking entertainment conglomerate that wants to replace the shop with something modern and upmarket. The game handles this stick it to the man story with a refreshing lack of sarcasm and more focuses on the regulars and togetherness. The regulars treat the shop like an escapism, teenagers looking to be influenced by music and a regular meeting spot for those with memories tied to the place. You get to learn and understand that the people you work with have seen things change and want to provide something for the community away from the shops and keep human connection fostered through the arts.
Wax Heads is a triumph of focused love and labour it offers a musical imprint that stays with you long after the credits roll. Like buying your first album or your favourite this will be something in your collection that will stay with you and shape your enjoyment for the arts.

Murray Somerwolff y Rocío Tomé (Patattie Games) lo definen como un ”punk-cozy slice of life”. Una parte de vida punk acogedora es exactamente lo que muestra Wax Heads. Una buena historia contada a muy buen ritmo y con unos personajes muy interesantes. Los clientes también juegan con una razón de ser para venir a comprar y eso mueve el sistema de juego principal. La atención al detalle de su diseño gráfico y el empezar con pocos discos y puzles simples hace que se entienda perfectamente el bucle jugable y se celebre cada variante nueva y minijuego planteado. Aunque tiene muy buen balance entre juego e historia, tal vez la parte jugable sea demasiado simple en principio pero pronto coge profundidad, pero no complejidad. Al igual que viendo Alta Fidelidad, quiero trabajar en una tienda de discos así.

Wax Heads was a unique experience that definitely lived up to the cozy promise. It may not be difficult, and it may not be my style, but I enjoyed the actual gameplay elements. I believe this one is a see it and you'll know type of game.

If you are a fan of narrative games, then I think you will like Wax Heads. There is nothing out of the ordinary here – but the story is engaging, and the art style is fantastic. Unfortunately for me, I did find some of the gameplay tedious, and there is a lot you need to remember and take in to fulfil your role as a star employee. I appreciate the hard work that has gone into making the game, and what the creative team have tried to achieve here, but for me it just didn’t hit all of the right notes.
